There isn't a lot of religious influence in the world anymore. Most people have either made their own new religion, forgotten religion, or then there's the Few remnants of christianity, paganism, and Buddhism.

Christianity [/size][/center] The teachings of Jesus Christ were almost lost. Most of the New Testament was destroyed and only a few scattered remains of the Old Testament still exist. Since The New Testament no longer exists, that means that Jesus Christ never existed to these people. The only parts of the Old Testament that still exists are the parts about Noah, 5 of the ten commandments, and a little of the creation story. The 5 commandments are: Thou Shalt not steal, Thou shalt not murder, Honor your father and mother, You shall have no other God but me, You shall not commit adultery. Christianity is spread thin among a few fanatics. Most people believe that the flood that is left in the Old Testament is a symbol of what has happened to them and believes that the Christian God might be the cause of their strife.

Buddhism or Buhdi [/size] There was a lot more of Buddhism left over than there is Christianity. They do call it by a different name though, Buhdi(boo-die), because they could never find the word in it's complete form. It is the second most practiced religion. People retained the belief that everyone should be equal (at least mostly) and that everyone should be conscious of the way they treat each other. This is the Golden Rule. They retained that they needed to try and develop their minds, and thus most people practicing Buddhism are scholarly people. The maintain 3 of the 4 principles, suffering happens, there is a cause for all suffering, the suffering will end. They don't remember the eightfold path and they don't remember Buddha, but they do remember these principles. They believe that the war happened because human beings deserved it. They believe that humans were so corrupt that the higher powers decided that humankind needed to be cleansed.
